I don't understand the first item, it seems unlike the others.

As I understand it, the reason you're not supposed to do what Jeff did, is because of exactly what you say in the next sentence - favoritism and bias, that undermines morale and leads to a dysfunctional team and good people leaving.

That first paragraph sounds to me like you are not connecting the affair with the "assholeness" and you think it's bad he got fired. Which doesn't go with everything else you write.

If your point is that they waited too long to do the right thing, well, that doesn't seem like systemic evil to me, even if there is other proof they aren't a "good company". I wouldn't put it in the same category of all the rest of the stuff you describe.

Everybody knows about the allegation that TJs wouldn't let people wear BLM apparel, right?

My reading was that the poster was indignant that it took the actual outing of the affair to bring about change, when the actual workplace problems caused by them were evident beforehand.

Sure, I'm kind of saying that if they were slow to take action, but nonetheless did, then that is consistent with an ordinary mediocre corporation run by human beings, in my mind, and not evidence of being distinctly evil. In point of fact, I know stuff like that goes on elsewhere.

So putting it first was unclear to me in its implication.
